Karen’s Status Report for 10/22

This week I started working with the STM32s. After learning how to use the CubeIDE, I started by learning how to enter Standby and STOP mode and use the RTC to wake up from these low power modes. I also connected a temperature sensor to the nucleo board and got a reading from it using the ADC. I tested it using a hairdryer to see if it responded to temperature changes, and it did. Further testing will have to be done with a match/lighter to determine the best way to detect the temperature change caused by the flame. Arden also got two nodes to send messages using the LoRa transceivers, so the next step seems to be putting it all together so that the nodes wake up from a low power mode, take a sensor reading, send it to another node, then go back to a low power mode.
